<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rafael-nadal">Rafael Nadal</a></strong> found success in the same era as Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, which makes his legacy in tennis even bigger. Both <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a></strong> experienced something similar in soccer.</p>



<p>For years, the Ballon d’Or conversation was reduced to these superstars, who played <strong>at the highest level</strong> in Europe <strong>for more than a decade</strong>. Now, both are spending their sunset years outside the Old Continent.</p>



<p>While the Argentine star is revolutionizing MLS, the Portuguese gave a significant boost to the Saudi Pro League. But even at this stage of their careers, people still like to compare them, and Nadal <strong>recently made his choice</strong>.</p>



<h2>Rafael Nadal chooses Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo</h2>



<p>“<em><strong>Messi is better, but I’m a Madrid fan</strong></em>,” Nadal told a fan who asked him to choose between the former Barcelona winger and Ronaldo. Despite his devotion for Real Madrid, the Spanish legend picked the Argentina international.</p>

<p>The most <strong>recent defeat</strong> was against <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a></strong>, a match in which <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a></strong> made the difference with a free-kick goal to seal the<strong> 2-1 final score</strong> and worsen the tough time <strong><em>Cementeros </em></strong>are going through.</p>

<p>But despite the stumble against the American team, that match allowed Cruz Azul to <strong>achieve something no other <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liga-mx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Liga MX</a> team has done so far</strong>, and that’s why fans are not feeling so bad after all.</p>



<h2>Cruz Azul is able to achieve something no Mexican club has accomplished</h2>



<p>The 2023 Leagues Cup started earlier this month. All the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a> </strong>and <strong>Liga MX</strong> clubs were invited to the tournament, and the <strong>first match of Cruz Azul was likely the most-watched so far</strong>. The Mexican squad <strong>faced Inter Miami</strong>, with <strong>Lionel Messi</strong> as its biggest star.</p>



<p>Despite the defeat against the team from Florida, this game allowed Cruz Azul to achieve an incredible milestone: they became the <strong>only Liga MX club</strong> to have <strong>faced both Lionel Messi and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cristiano Ronaldo</a></strong>.</p>



<p>It is worth noting that <strong><em>La Maquina</em></strong> had already <strong>faced CR7 in the 2014 Club World Cup</strong>, specifically in the <strong>semifinal match</strong> that ended with <strong>Real Madrid’s 4-0 victory</strong>.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> made a grand entrance into the MLS scene with his debut for<strong> Inter Miami</strong> at the 2023 Leagues Cup, and it didn’t disappoint. Attending the game,<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong> player<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a></strong> couldn’t contain his excitement and took to Instagram to share his reaction.</p>



<p>LeBron was one of the many famous personalities that were in the stadium. While<strong> Kim Kardashian</strong> and tennis icon<strong> Serena Williams</strong> added glamour to the event, James was probably the biggest name watching Messi’s debut.</p>

<p>Messi showcased his brilliance despite coming off the bench in the second half. His team was headed to the penalties with a 1-1 tie against<strong> Cruz Azul</strong>, but a last-minute free-kick score gave his team the win.</p>



<h2>LeBron congratulates Messi in his presentation with Inter Miami</h2>



<p>Despite the unfamiliar surroundings, Messi displayed his unmatched talent, particularly as a playmaker, setting up potential assists with his pinpoint passing. However, it was in the 94th minute that he etched his name in Inter Miami’s history with a perfectly executed free-kick.</p>



<p>LeBron was just one of the many people who praised the football legend. “Welcome brother!!! Always good to see and be in the presence of GREATNESS!!! @leomessi #ComingToAmerica”, he posted on his Instagram account. The King also added pictures of him hugging Messi before the game.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> was the main attraction in his debut for<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong>. Despite coming off the bench against<strong> Cruz Azul</strong>, he managed to make his team a 2-1 win with an impressive free-kick. This date marks a before and after for MLS teams.</p>



<p>The excitement in the stadium could not have been higher. It didn’t take too long for Cruz Azul to create numerous goal-scoring opportunities, but somehow, Inter Miami found a goal by<strong> Robert Taylor</strong> to take the lead.<strong> However, there is no denying that the team needs Messi desperately</strong> if they want to be contenders based on their overall performance.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/leagues-cup">2023 Leagues Cup</a></strong> is a competition that offers a good opportunity for Inter Miami to maybe reach far. This group of three teams is completed by<strong> Atlanta United</strong>, and the first two clubs advance. However, they need the best of Messi<strong>, </strong>Jordi Alba and<strong> Sergio Busquets</strong>, considering their showcasing in the first half.</p>



<h2>Watch: Lionel Messi scores the game-winner for Inter Miami</h2>



<p>Gerardo Martino decided to leave Messi out of the starting lineup considering the very few training sessions he had with the team. The moment that everyone was expecting happened in the 53rd minute, when he replaced Benjamin Cremaschi.</p>



<p>Messi quickly showed who he is, regardless of the less than ideal environment surround him. He displayed his talent on the field particularly as a passer. His best actions came with passes that almost turned into assists, but he waited for his game-winning goal until the end.<strong> It was the 94th minute</strong> when Inter Miami got a free-kick, only for Messi to score a magnificent goal to seal the win.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> arrived in the<strong> United States</strong>, setting a precedent with his move.

Everyone will remember where they were when he introduced himself in his new team.</p>



<p>Messi didn’t start the game against<strong> Cruz Azul</strong> because of<strong> Gerardo Martino</strong>’s decision.<strong> The head coach</strong> of Inter Miami opted for a cautious approach with their superstar considering he only had a few training sessions with the team following his vacations.</p>

<p>The<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/leagues-cup">2023 Leagues Cup</a></strong> offers unique matchups between the two most important leagues in the region. However, this game featuring<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong> and<strong> Cruz Azul</strong> is special for another reason.<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong>’s debut with his new club is today, but he is not going to be a starter.</p>

<p>Inter Miami is last in the standings in their conference, which doesn’t seem to matter anymore with the arrival of Messi. The Argentine signed with the club in a shocking move following his failed return to<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a></strong>, so American fans will now have the opportunity to enjoy him.</p>

<p>Despite he can change the faith of a team by himself, Messi has other familiar faces in Miami now. Having former teammates like<strong> Sergio Busquets</strong> and<strong> Jordi Alba</strong> around should give him enough support to play in a competitive lineup.</p>



<h2>Why isn’t Lionel Messi starting for Inter Miami?</h2>



<p>Messi announced he was going to play for Inter Miami a few weeks ago. However, he officially joined the team not too long ago. He always wants to play as much as possible, but this time the plan is a bit different.</p>



<p>The Argentine is not starting for Inter Miami, according to Gaston Edul of TyC Sports. This is because coach<strong> Gerardo Martino</strong> decided to not expose him to a full match, as he has only participated in only a handful of training sessions with the team. His effective debut is not in doubt, considering Messi is going to come off the bench in the second half against Cruz Azul.</p>
